Road Haulage Compliance — CDL Medical, Driver CPC & ADR Tracking
CDL medicals expire every 2 years, Driver CPC requires 35 hours in 5 years, and ADR certificates lapse quietly. Certivenza tracks every driver's compliance status in real time.
14-day free trial · No credit card required
Road haulage sits at the intersection of DVLA, DVSA, DOT, and FMCSA regulation — four regulatory bodies across two countries, each with overlapping driver compliance requirements. A single driver operating with an expired CDL medical or lapsed CPC card can trigger an operator licence review that grounds the entire fleet. Certivenza gives transport managers one dashboard showing every driver's compliance status across all jurisdictions.

The compliance challenges road haulage & logistics businesses face
Without a dedicated system, lapsed certifications and missed renewals put your business at risk.
CDL medical certificates expire mid-contract without warning
DOT medical certificates expire every 2 years — sooner for drivers with conditions like hypertension or sleep apnea who require annual or even shorter-cycle medicals. When a certificate expires, the driver must stop operating immediately.
Driver CPC 35 hours must be completed in a rolling 5-year cycle
UK drivers need 35 hours of periodic training split across a 5-year DQC card cycle. Drivers who leave it to the final year find training slots booked out and face a licence suspension gap.
ADR dangerous goods certificates expire every 5 years with no automatic notice
ADR certificates for carrying dangerous goods expire every 5 years. Renewal notices go to the driver individually. Transport managers rarely know a key driver's ADR has lapsed until a load is ready to be dispatched.
Right to Work checks for HGV drivers are done once and never updated
UK employers must conduct Right to Work checks before employment and re-check time-limited visas before expiry. HGV drivers on time-limited visas routinely continue working after their work authorisation expires because nobody tracks the renewal date.

Frequently asked questions
Can Certivenza alert me when a driver's CDL medical has a shorter renewal cycle due to a medical condition?
Yes. When you enter the CDL medical certificate, set the expiry date to the actual date on the certificate — even if it's 6 or 12 months instead of the standard 2 years. Certivenza alerts at 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before that specific expiry.
How do we track Driver CPC periodic training hours across 5 years?
Add each periodic training course as a document upload against the driver's profile. Add a note with the hours completed. The DQC card itself is the primary tracked document with the 5-year expiry — the training uploads provide the audit trail.
Can we bulk-check all drivers' DVLA licence status?
Certivenza doesn't connect directly to DVLA systems, but you can set an annual DVLA Licence Check document type for each driver. When the check is done, the driver or transport manager uploads the confirmation and sets the next annual review date.
How do we handle Right to Work re-checks for drivers on time-limited visas?
Set the Right to Work document expiry to the visa expiry date for each relevant driver. Certivenza alerts you at 30 and 7 days before expiry so you can conduct the repeat share code check before the visa lapses.
